Modern Dance In Practice Project

CCDC's modern dance workshop for secondary students is the largest-scale programme of the CCDC Dance Centre. The scheme is now in its 21st year since its inception when the Regional Council still existed. Almost 6000 students have joined the scheme so far. Some of them now study dance at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts and some have become professional dancers or instructors. The scheme now has been extended to serve 12 primary and secondary schools in different districts. Our professional instructors go into campus to provide a 10-month training for students, which includes in-school introductory dance performance, dance camp, teachers dance workshop and children-parents' day camp. They also choreograph works for students to perform in the annual finale performance “Dancing in the Sun”. Throughtout years of development, the scheme has evolved from a dance course for students to now a systematic and all-round dance-learning experience which also benefit the parents and teachers. This makes the scheme unique and valuable.
